I know the fat man's details very well and know that he is very good at swimming.
But seeing him fall into the water now, I have to worry about the fat man.
Those strange floating corpses were like boiled dumplings, rolling constantly.
As soon as the fat man fell into the water, he was immediately wrapped up by the countless female corpses.
In the blink of an eye, he could no longer see where he was.
I wanted to jump into the water to save him, but the way was blocked by the screaming and struggling monster.
I was so anxious that I couldn't get out, so I had to shout his name to the water.
The strange insect with its eyes dug out wildly shook its huge body, breaking many rocks.
More red mist flowed out from the gaps in its armor, but the color seemed not as bright as blood at the beginning.
It became lighter.
I thought that the change in the color of the red mist was just due to the change of light and shadow in the cave, so I didn't pay attention.
I just wanted to avoid the obstacle of this big bug quickly so that I could fish the fat man out of the water.
However, the giant insect was too big.
I rushed back several times and had to retreat.
I was almost smashed into pieces by its heavy armor.
Shiry Yang saw the flaw at the same time, grabbed the backpack that the fat man had dropped on the ground, climbed to the highest rock, took out the explosives from the carrying bag, and shouted to me: "It can't support it anymore."
After that, Throwing her Type 64 pistol towards me.
I looked up and saw Shirey Yang's actions, and I already understood what she meant, so I took the Type 64 pistol in my hand and shouted to Shirey Yang: "I'll lure it away first, are you ready?"
Just send a signal with the explosives, don’t wait too long, I don’t know whether the fat man is alive or dead while he’s still in the water.”
I raised my Type 64 pistol and aimed at the giant insect's head and fired several shots.
However, although the range of this gun was sufficient, its lethality was really insignificant in front of this giant reptile.
In order to buy time for Shirey Yang to prepare the explosives, he had to try his best to lure away the violent giant insect that was seriously injured.
Although the giant insect is blind in one eye, it has lived in the dark underground world for many years.
The only light source in this cave is the cold blue light emitted by the floating corpses underwater, so its eyes have been severely degraded, but its touch is quite sensitive. .
I kept hitting the rocks around me with my engineering shovel, making a "dang-dang-dang" sound.
This really stimulated the giant insect, and it swung its strange body and chased me.
Seeing that my plan was successful, I didn't dare to come into direct contact with it, so I ran specifically to those places where mountains and rocks were densely packed.
The giant insect kept hitting the rocks and became even more angry.
Its infinite brute force was like a heavy bulldozer, smashing the rocks in the cave into pieces.
With the limit of human power, there was no way I could outrun this monster train-like insect.
In a panic, I shouted to Shirey Yang: "Chief of Staff Yang, why didn't you detonate the explosive?
You are deliberately trying to make me look good."
I just heard Shirey Yang shouting to me from the highest point of the rock in the cave: "It's still a little bit close.
Find a way to hold it off for another ten seconds."
I know Shiry Yang must be racing against time, but now I can't even hold on for ten seconds, even three seconds is enough.
A strong wind blew behind me, and I could feel a strong heat flow, as well as the gradually thickening red mist around me.
He couldn't even care about a few seconds now.
There was a huge boulder standing in front of him, and there was no way to go.
In a panic, he had no choice but to jump into the underground water next to him, and his shoulder just happened to hit a floating corpse.
This time, the bones were not broken.
The pain was so painful that I drank several mouthfuls of the cold, smelly river water.
I was still wondering why this corpse was harder than a stone.
But suddenly I felt a chill in my heart, as if I had been struck by electricity.
Instantly, I felt an inexplicable panic in my heart.
I suddenly remembered that this special feeling occurred more than once when I was swimming in the cave ahead. , deja vu, this is a disgusting feeling My hands and feet became a little numb.

I was in the water, and before I had time to think about what was going on, I was already sucked into the depths by countless dead floats in the water.
The dark and cold water bottom also gave off a green light.
This time I was very close to the female corpses, almost face to face.
I tried my best to keep my eyes open in the water, trying to take a closer look at what these corpses were so that I could find a way to escape, but I was dazzled by the thousands of female corpses.
The water surface has also been completely covered by countless female corpses, and it is almost impossible to break out of the water.
No matter how good the water quality is, a person can only survive at the bottom of the water for two minutes at most.
Unless a miracle occurs, he will definitely drown in the cold water.
I was completely unprepared.
I didn't hold my breath in advance.
I was hit by the hard female corpse and drank a few mouthfuls of smelly water.
As soon as I fell under the water, I already felt that my chest was tight and my lungs were about to explode.
I couldn't hold my breath, and suddenly a hand grabbed me from behind.
I was so frightened that my hair almost stood up.
I felt the hand pull my shoulder and pull my body around.
It turned out that the person pulling me behind was a fat man.
Thanks to his good water properties and large lung capacity, he had been holding it in for about a minute and a half.
At this time, he was at the end of his strength and was about to bubble up.
As soon as the fat man and I met each other at the bottom of the water, I felt a vibration in the water.
When the giant monster heard the sound of me falling into the water, it pursued me and plunged its head into the water.
It was so powerful that it immediately dispersed all the floating corpses blocking the water surface.
The fat man and I had no way to survive.
When we saw the insect's head plunged into the water, we immediately grabbed the carapace of the strange insect with our hands.
The huge strange insect immediately noticed it and immediately lifted its body from the bottom of the water, shaking desperately for a while, trying to get rid of us.
As soon as my body left the water, I immediately felt that the ghostly resentment disappeared without a trace.
I opened my mouth wide and took a few deep breaths of air.
With the shaking of the insect's body, I jumped to the rock on the water and saw the fat man.
Still holding on to the dragon scale bronze armor on the insect's body, feeling a little more at ease in his heart, he shouted to Shiry Yang: "What are you waiting for?"
Shiry Yang had already assembled several ingots of explosives and fuses, lit one and threw it at the head of the giant insect from a high place, and told the fat man to leave quickly.
When the fat man saw the explosives being thrown over, he didn't dare to neglect it.
He spotted a relatively flat spot on the ground and immediately rolled down.
There were many huge pieces of armor between the insect's head and body, as well as fragments of the golden mask covering its head.
Shirley Yang planned to predict the timing of the explosion and throw it at the head.
Unexpectedly, the result was unexpected.
The giant insect without eyes, no matter what it came from, turned around and bit, just in time to swallow the explosive into its mouth.
There was a loud bang in the air, as dull as a balloon bursting, and the yellow juice, accompanied by large clouds of red mist, and countless minced meat spread out like a shower of flowers.
The giant insect's body shook a few times and fell heavily to the ground.
The sound of the dragon scale demon armor hitting the rocks made his eardrums hurt.
Red mist emerged from its body one after another, but the color became lighter and gradually dissipated in the air.
Through the exposed areas of the dragon scale demon armor, you can see that the insect shell inside the armor has turned black, completely unlike the bright red as when first seen.
We estimated that it was completely dead this time, so we packed up the scattered equipment, and slowly got closer with guns in hand to take a look.
We saw that the insect's head was almost blown into a morning glory and was still shaking.
The centipede insect is dead but not stiff.
But even if it's not dead, it won't pose any threat to us anymore.
The heavy damage from the explosion has temporarily stopped producing a thick red mist in its body.
Although this red mist is not fatal, it makes its shell hard. , the power is also extremely strong, what the hell kind of monster is this?

Shiry Yang said: "It may be an extinct insect.
In the prehistoric world, there were such big insects, but it is not easy to judge now.
Let's take a look."
We walked backwards along the giant insect's body to see how long it was from beginning to end.
It was amazing how much bronze was needed just for this heavy dragon scale bronze armor.
Unexpectedly, when we reached the end of the mountain wall of Hulu Cave, we found that this giant insect had no tail, or in other words, its tail had been petrified and became one with the red rocks of Hulu Cave.
It was impossible to distinguish which part was the insect body and which part was stone. .
The fat man poked the giant monster insect's body with the muzzle of his gun a few times: "Just now it was as hard as a steel plate, and bullets couldn't penetrate it, but now it's as soft as a pine caterpillar, and it seems that it's not dead yet.
I don't think we can care about anything." , and then stuff some explosives into its mouth, and send this thing to the west, so that the bad breath in its heart can be vented. " Shiry Yang said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple.
With our equipment, it is impossible to kill it completely at the moment.
Fortunately, it is no longer a threat.
It probably only has a rare wheel-shaped nerve structure similar to the sun goddess snail.
It is difficult to find a way to kill the mantis except changing the oxygen content in the air. " The ancestors of this mantis can be traced back to the Cambrian period hundreds of millions of years ago, when invertebrates originated, when organisms were still in a low stage of evolution.
The original form of the mantis, with its tenacious vitality, has escaped countless earth-shaking species destruction and survived until the Triassic Period tens of millions of years ago.
It has gradually evolved into the largest insect in history. .
Different from the common creatures with central nervous system and tree-like nerves, there are only two kinds of creatures with wheel-shaped nervous tissue and compound cell structure in the world so far.
The first one is from a few years ago.
The Sun Goddess Conch, a mysterious creature that existed hundreds of millions of years ago, has only fragments of human understanding of it.
The whorl of nerve tissue has no nerve center, which means that the body and nerves of this animal are separated.
After the body tissue is necrotic, the whorl of nerve will continue to survive.
Moreover, the Sun Goddess Snail is a hermaphrodite and does not need to mate.
The new life produced will replace the dead body.
Although this characteristic limits its number, as long as the living environment allows, its whorl-like nerves and mesh-like cell structure will continue to multiply in the shell endlessly.
The mantis worm is also known as "Huo's immortal worm".
This name was named in memory of the British biologist who discovered its fossil.
This strange creature with wheel-shaped nerves is somewhere between invertebrate and semi-vertebrate, and has a protective shell similar to that of a sun goddess snail.
The hard shell is formed from the secretions in its body.
In nature, it has no natural enemies.
Unless it can be eaten whole and completely digested with gastric juice, it can still survive as long as part of its nerve network is left.
Its final extinction, just like those of large insects, was due to a dramatic change in the oxygen content in the atmosphere.
Shiry Yang said: "One thing is very strange, which is the overlap and conflict between archeology and biology.
Scholars who study ancient Egyptian civilization believe that the scarab that appears in the pharaoh's emblem is the insect of the gods, and its original form It’s a mantis-like insect, so they disagree with the view put forward by biologists that this giant hard-shelled insect became extinct as early as the end of the Triassic.
They believe that at least in the era of ancient Egyptian civilization, there are still such huge insects left in the world.
The two sides have been arguing about this."
During the Triassic, all the animals in the world were huge.
The high oxygen content caused insects to grow without limit.
The wingspan of the Triassic mosquito fossils found today is estimated to have exceeded one hundred centimeters.
Insects use their trachea to breathe, and the rate at which oxygen enters the tissues slows with the size of the insect.
When an insect's body exceeds a certain volume, the concentration of oxygen in the air cannot meet the requirements of the insect body.
This objective factor is also the main reason that limits the body shape of insects and ultimately leads to the extinction of large insects.
The rock formation structure of the Hulu Cave we are currently in is very special.
It is an ancient stacked rock.
Red translucent crystals can be seen everywhere, as well as a large number of ancient fossil forests.
These are all products of the Triassic Period.
From the fossils formed at a certain moment in ancient times, we can know that at that moment, the volcanic lava and the debris flow that swallowed everything covered the forest almost at the same time.

After the high temperature, it cooled rapidly and the space gas expanded, forming The special terrain of Hulu Cave.
Part of the body of this mantis was engulfed by lava and mudslides.
Before the magma had time to melt its hard and thick shell, it was extinguished by the ensuing mudslide.
Therefore, part of the body of the worm became one with the cave and could no longer be separated. .
In ancient times, the Yi people living near Zhelong Mountain may have worshiped this terrifying Huo's undead insect as a mountain god.
I don’t know how many generations this mantis has reproduced in this insect shell.
Its respiratory system has adapted to the current concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere, but this may be related to the unique structure in the gourd cave.
Maybe it is here.
There is some kind of special plant or food.
When we thought about food, we suddenly thought of the countless dead floats in the water.
We wanted to leave here immediately, but now it seems that it is necessary to investigate more carefully, because this big bug should be closely related to the tomb of King Xian.
Why does this mantis wear a golden mask in the shape of a king priest and a layer of dragon scale demon armor?
Is it the source of the poisonous fog near the Insect Valley?
I told Shiry Yang about my idea, but what we know about the evil arts is still very limited.
We only know that the evil arts, one of the three ancient and evil Nanyang evil arts, is a way to control the resentment of the souls of the deceased.
A magic that transforms into invisible poison.
The more miserable the person who dies, the more powerful the poison will be.
After all the red mist-like gas dissipated, this guy completely lost his ability to resist.
The poisonous mist produced in its body must be related to the dead drift it has swallowed in the water all year round.
Based on this judgment, maybe a certain part of the giant insect's body is connected to somewhere above the insect valley.
According to its characteristics, it is not unusual for the insect to be nearly a hundred meters long.
Coupled with the extremely low terrain of the valley, even the roots of plants can penetrate.
Perhaps the insect's mouth swallowed the floating corpses in the water, and there were thousands of them.
The resentment of the female corpse will pass through the insect body and turn into a white mist that permeates the valley, blocking the way from the outside world to the tomb of King Xian.
The human skin map records that the fog around the tomb of King Xian exists in a ring shape.
This may be because the person who drew the human skin map did not know the details.
After our on-the-spot investigation, we found that the terrain of this valley cannot have a circle of poisonous mountain miasma fog.
There are cliffs on both sides and behind, and there is only a ray of skylight when you look up.
As long as the poisonous fog blocks the road in the valley, there will be no difference.
The road can lead to the king's tomb.
At this time, Shiry Yang discovered that the surface of the dragon scale bronze armor outside the insect body was engraved with many inscriptions and was severely worn.
Only a small part could still be seen, but they were all in strange shapes and could not be identified.
We suddenly remembered that we had seen such a symbol in the stone monument shop.
The large vat that was chained and sunk into the pond had this symbol on it.
At that time, Professor Sun said that this was some kind of talisman in the long-lost evil art, called the "soul-piercing talisman", which was a vicious evil spell used to block the souls of the dead.
This showed that the bronze demon armor and the water vat were wrapped around it.
Copper skin has different approaches but the same purpose.
It seems that as we expected, this specially made dragon scale demon armor and the golden mask that combines the characteristics of the six demon beasts of King Xian were all installed on this giant insect through some kind of evil ritual.
Those people are really good at adapting to local conditions and making use of all available resources.
However, these things are not done on the right path.
They specialize in doing this harmful evil method.
Unfortunately, King Xian always wants to become an immortal.
Probably before the tomb of King Xian was built, the mountain god only ate giant toads that were found in the water.
Since the food contained poison glands in its body, the giant insect was also poisonous.
Until this place was discovered by King Xian, he used the method passed down by the ancient Yi people to drain out its toxicity, and then concocted it according to his wishes, making the insect half-dead and turning it into the production of poisonous mist that guarded the king's tomb. source.

From this point of view, it is also very pitiful.
Like those human figurines, they were all sacrificed to the king's tomb.
According to this speculation, the large number of female corpses in the water were set up to create mist.
However, in the past two thousand years, the entire population of the Han Dynasty combined could not fill the gap today.
It seems necessary to retrieve a dead body from the water.
Let’s analyze it.
The fat man was afraid that Shiry Yang and I would ask to leave immediately, because he also planned to collect all the gold fragments scattered on the ground one by one.
This amount is very considerable, so don't waste it.
Seeing us gathered around the insect body to check, we immediately found the engineering shovel in a hurry and dug out the gold from the pulpy insect head.
Shiry Yang and I were busy using our mountaineering pickaxe to salvage the dead driftwood from the waterside.
We didn’t notice what the fat man was doing.
Suddenly we heard him shouting from behind.
We turned around in a hurry and saw the giant insect that had been blown to pieces. , the head suddenly raised up, and the mouth, which was completely broken, became several times larger than before at some point, and kept making "gurgling" sounds.
This guy is too strong.
Is he really immortal?
I quickly picked up the Chicago typewriter and was about to give it another stroke, but I found that it was not going to attack us.
It looked like it was about to vomit.
Before I had time to remind the fat man to avoid it, I saw the huge insect opening its mouth and spitting out a lot of dead food that it had swallowed before.
At this time, the corpse had turned dark brown, and the cold green light on the surface was gone.
There was still a lot of viscous liquid on the body, all of which was sprayed on the fat man.
I was about seven or eight meters away from him, and I almost fainted from the stench.
I immediately used the mountaineering pick in my hand to hook the fat man's carrying bag, and together with Shirey Yang, we struggled to pull him out of the pile of corpses.
Fortunately, the poisonous mist was discharged into the valley.
These liquids should be gastric juices.
Although they may be somewhat acidic, it is okay as long as they are washed immediately.
The huge Huo's undead bug couldn't stop vomiting.
After vomiting out more than a hundred pitch-black female corpses, it made a violent gurgling sound again.
This time it looked very painful, and vomited out a huge square object, which was heavily fell to the ground.
The surface of the object was dripping with juice, and there were many concave and convex large copper nail caps.
It looked like a bronze box or a large copper coffin.
I was so surprised.
I never expected that there was such a big thing in its belly.
Fortunately, I pulled the fat man back in advance, otherwise I would have smashed him into a pancake.
Shirey Yang and I looked at each other, and Shirey Yang was also surprised: "This is just like the Pandora's box hidden in the belly of the ancient dragon in Western legends
.
":
